ZODIAC with a user reviews of B+ and Critics B, movie should be good or atleast better than Wild Hogs or Reno 911 or 23 which have reviews of C, D, D+! The disucssion between Ravi, Ashwin and me went on for sometime on friday evening.
Ravi: What about eating out (not seeming in the best of moods to cook)?
me: anytime!
Ashwin: okay...
After some talk on what to order, Ravi called up Spice'n'Hot (Indian Restuarant just opposite to our apartment) and ordered something.
Ashwin: oh! they do need drivers license at F1Boston.com
After some more discussion, we finally decide on Zodiac, "The show is at 10:40", ashwin said looking up a movie website.
me: "call up pritam and naveen if they are coming" to ashwin.
At 9 we go Spice'n'Hot and finish 2 curries and some chapatis with rice and then head for Showcase Cinemas at Revere.
Ravi: are we decided on Zodiac?
me: no issues with me. I can bear anything other than Ghostrider.
Ashwin: anything fine with me
Ravi pointing to ashwin "he never gives a definite answer man"
It was 10-15 minutes since the movie started and I was feeling sleepy because of no reason. There are a couple of killings and the Office of Chronicle, a newpaper gets a letter from someone who claims to have killed the couple. There is also some encrypted text in the mail. After few more killings, they get another mail and this time killer names himself "ZODIAC". A cartoonist in Chronicle Robert Graysmith, is a psycho kind of character trying desperately to get as much information on ZODIAC and try to solve it. There was a short blackout and I wake up after some 20 mins or so. The cartoonist was doing something and after I gained some consciousness "oh! did I miss a lot?" i though to myself. To my surprise I realized after 30 mins that I dint miss anything. The police and cartoonist are still trying to resolve the mystery.
After almost 2 hours of movie, i thought to myself "what the hell. there is no interval, no songs, no dances and above all no babes in the movie and still the story is at the same place". After the movie, they show some text like "Robert claimed he never got a phone call", "Person xxx died of heart attack" etc, "ok, so this is a real story" i thought. While walking out of the movie hall, I heard a girl walking next to me was on phone "The movie is good. They have presented the facts as is and well".
me to Ravi: hmm... we could have seen something else :)
Ravi: its past :)
